The
Vincennes University Military Education
Program offers classes exclusively for the military on
military
installations. The beginning and end of its operation is dependent on an agreement with base
commanders. The leadership of the military education office requests specific programs in specific
locations. The foundation of the program is giving the Military student access to a college
education by combining a variety of learning experiences that apply toward completion of an
associate degree. In addition to our on-site degree programs, we offer one-credit hour weekend
courses. These classes are taught in a hands-on seminar format, 7 hours on Saturday and 7 hours on
Sunday. The purpose of these courses is to update and improve both military and personal skills to
aid in military promotion and college success. They also count toward the general elective
requirement for degree completion and are considered in-residence courses by Vincennes University.
In order to provide increased access to degree completion, we offer the following
opportunities for the Military student enrolled in our program:
1. After successful completion of 1 course with Vincennes University, we will
evaluate the student's military experience using a customized METEC computer program and award
college credit based on the American Council on Education's (ACE) recommendations.
The student will receive a transcript that includes credit received from
in-residence courses, experiential learning (Military) credit, transfer credit from other
accredited colleges, and DANTES and CLEP tests, with proper documentation (official
transcripts).
The student also receives a degree plan (SOCAD/SOCNAV agreement) for an Associate
Degree.
2. Vincennes University has approved a 6 hour in-residence requirement for Military
(SOCAD) students. At least 15 semester hours of college coursework from accredited colleges and
universities must be completed, at least 6 hours of which must be earned through Vincennes
University courses.
A Distance Learning Program is available to aid Military students in completing
degree and in-residence requirements. Internet, Correspondence/Internet Assisted, Correspondence/
Technology Assisted (videotape/audio cassette), and Independent Study Correspondence delivery offer
degrees and a wide range of courses to students anytime.
